Daxlanden: Gold panners, hunting fishermen, artists, customs station, oil mill, Appenmühle mill, St. Thomas Church with its fantastic stained glass windows, a World War II bunker that later became a cultural bunker.
Route 1: Until Tullas straightened the Rhine in 1817, the history of Daxlanden was marked by numerous floods and flood disasters. However, the water also had its positive side: some old buildings and paths tell of the heyday of gold panners and hunting fishermen, of the former customs station and the artists who were inspired by the Rhine meadows and village life.
Route 2: We visit the oil mill, the Appenmühle mill, and the Thomaswehr weir, as well as one of the three high-rise bunkers in Karlsruhe, which was built here in 1942/43 due to its proximity to the potential bombing target of the Rhine port. 65 years later, it was converted into a cultural bunker. Also noteworthy is the Thomaskirche with its fantastic stained glass window, the last work of Otto Bartning, which anchors like a ship on the banks of the Alb.
